2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

[SNC SID]

I don’t see a good thread for this so I’m putting it here. I’d like to thank the WIAC for making playoff video broadcasts pay per view. Making your own fans decide to put on St. Norberts instead is a bold strategy.

This explains why our viewership numbers were way up this weekend.

We are just stuck with a team line Salve stealing an at-large bid this year. The committee can fix this in the future, but who knows if they will.

Hobart’s SOS is 72 and Endicott’s SOS is 69. The argument against Salve is their SOS. Do we feel the same about Hobart and Endicott? What about Aurora? SOS is 61…

Still not 87 and only playing 20 qualifying games !

I feel like Hobart is just a slightly more proven entity too...

 

[Tom Coughlin]

Aurora has 22 wins overall and 4 against Adrian. I think that speaks for itself.

Put your money on Hobart !
